Hamachi Network Types

Mesh Network

In a mesh network, every member is connected to every other member. It is a typical choice when it's essential to reach every member of the network.

Hub-and-spoke Network

This network type provides more strict control over network members in terms of who is connected to whom. Hubs (servers) are connected to everyone else, spokes (workstations) are connected only to hubs, but not to each other. It is a typical choice for simple corporate use cases, where a workstation needs connection to servers only.

Gateway Network

A gateway network integrates smoothly into your physical network also in terms of IP addressing. Your gateway will provide regular members with access to the entire physical network. There must be one and only one dedicated gateway in this type of network and there can be any number of regular members.

Note: The Hamachi client will not act as a gateway on Workstation operating systems if they are domain members.
